Future air vehicles will increasingly incorporate electrical powertrains that require very tight system level integration of power, propulsion, thermal, fault protection, and airframe technologies. This paper provides an overview of a new category of thermal energy conversion technology that can be used to enable a fully solid-state integrated thermal and fault management electric aircraft protection system, while synergistically managing and recycling both the low-grade waste heat from electrical components and the high-grade waste heat from engine components. This is achieved with exergy amplification of the powertrain waste-heat, a new class of fast flight-weight breakers, new class of long variable conductance heat pipe with multiple switchable condensers, new class of turbofan integrated heat exchangers and a gradient-based powertrain system optimizer.
